— The most proaiinent ai-ticle in the Review of Reviews for July 

 ■will be one prepared by Professor Herbert B. Adams of the Johns 

 Hopkins University, entitled " University Extension and its Lead- 

 ers." It is an account of the popular movement for the dissemina- 

 tion of advanced education among the people, in which the lead- 

 ing educators of America are now earnestly engaged, and it is 

 illustrated with portraits of Professor Adams himself, Bishop 

 Vincent, the head of the Chautauquan movement, Presidents Eliot 

 of Harvard, Dwight of Yale, Adams of Cornell, Oilman of Johns 

 Hopkins, Low of Columbia, Harper of Chicago, Northrop of Min- 

 nesota, Mr. Melvil Dewey, Professor E. J. James, and various 

 other gentlemen. It may not be generally known in this country 

 that the public school boards of Paris, London, and other great 

 foreign cities, have finally come to the conclusion that it is neces- 

 sai-y to feed, once a day at least, in all the public school buildings, 

 the children of the poorer classes, in order to be sure that they 

 may be in physical condition to receive intellectual instruction. 



An article in the same number of the Review entitled '" Food- 

 Aided Education in Paris, London, and Birmingham," gives an 

 account-of the system under which this novel reform has been 

 put into practice. 



— An interesting paper on the habits of the moose, by Mr. J. G. 

 Lockhart, appears in the June number of the Zoologist. One of 

 the points noted is, that moose generally lie with the tail to wind- 

 vyard, trusting to their senses of hearing and smelling, which are 

 remarkably acute, to warn them of approaching danger from that 

 quarter. They can use their eyes to warn them from danger to 

 leeward, where hearing, and especially smelling, would be of little 

 use. While they are sleeping or chewing the cud, their ears are 

 in perpetual motion, one backward, the other forward, alternately. 

 They also have the remarkable insight to make a short turn and 

 sleep below the wind of their fresh track, so that any one falling 

 thereon and following it up is sure to be heard or smelt before he 

 can get within shooting distance. 



Exhaustion 



The phosphates of the system 

 are consumed with every effort, 

 and exhaustion usually indicates 

 a lack of supply. The Acid 

 Phosphate supplies the phos- 

 phates, thereby relieving exhaus- 

 tion, and increasing the capacity 

 for labor. Pleasant to the taste. 



Dr. A. N. Keotjt, Van Wert, 0., says: 

 ' ' Decidedly beneficial in nervous exhaiii 



tion."

 ' ' A remedy of great service in iflany 



forms of exhaustion."
